HIGHLIGHTS

The Dew Tour iON Mountain Championships returns to Breckenridge, CO on December 12-15 and serves as the first official U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association Olympic team selection event of the 2013-2014 season.

The event also marks the first ever USSA selection event for slopestyle skiing, halfpipe skiing and slopestyle snowboarding disciplines.

The slopestyle contest will be dominated by Breckenridge native Bobby Brown and heavy hitters Tom Wallisch (Pittsburg, PA) and Gus Kenworthy (Telluride, CO), who are all hungry for valuable USSA selection points.

Logan will be pulling double duty at the Dew Tour, as she will also be competing in the slopestyle contest against top contenders including Grete Eliasson (Salt Lake City, UT).

QUOTESTorin Yater-Wallace, Two-time X-Games halfpipe skiing gold medalistI couldn't be more excited that the Dew Tour is the first USSA selection event this December. The event always brings out the best competition, so it will be the perfect way for freeskiers to make our statement as we prepare for our first Games in Sochi.

Scotty Lago (Seabrook, NH), 2010 Olympic halfpipe snowboarding bronze medalistI'm stoked the Dew Tour is the first Olympic team qualifier. You can guarantee the pipe will be great and everyone comes out for the contest swinging.
